Yesterday, I wrote about how the AP is putting out phony reports that the Republicans are conceding defeat in Congress because the GOP campaign committees are withdrawing their cash from some seats to focus on other races that are more likely to be won. This is nonsense; that process is done by political parties all the time, in every election. I pointed out that the Democrats are doing this too, but no one is saying that they are conceding defeat.
It's worth noting that today we got word that the DCCC (the Democrat's congressional campaign committee) has just removed its support from the Democrat running in Minnesota's 8th district. The party is moving those funds to other races. Minnesota's 8th district is currently represented by a Dem, but polling the other day showed him 15% behind the GOP challenger. So will the AP now write a report exclaiming how the Democrats are conceding defeat in the November election? I don't think so.
